Normally, rats and fine cuisine don't mix (rather, think of Templeton at the fair), but this is well done.

Ratatouille

I enjoyed it for both the movie quality and for the exceptional detail going into the cooking scenes.

I actually watched this last night with my family. It was a very good movie. I was a little disappointed that the lead chef said, "Welcome to hell" in a G movie. Other than that it gets a from me.

That's all right, there are kids' cartoons out there with Hades as a character - and it's not for purposes of classical education either!

I keep rats - my first one was called Templeton.

I enjoyed the movie too. I thought it would be boring to watch a movie about a rat cooking but it was really well done.

It was good but Brad Bird did an even better job two years ago with The Incredibles, I loved that one.

I enjoyed it, although I had to fight the "ick" factor all the way through. I wonder if they took a chance when they made it, since rats are not most people's favorite animal.

They did, but Brad Byrd has tenure as he has hit a number of home runs and has alot of clout at Pixar to do as pleases now.

The Incredibles made half a billion dollars after it was all said and done so he got to do whatever he pleased for a follow up project and it was Ratatouille.

The "Ick" factor? They ran themselves through the dishwasher! I mean, what more can you ask?

Amen. Tame rats carry less diseases than dogs or cats btw. I have a dog and three rats. The dog wants to eat the rats. Caught a wild one the other week and gave it a good shake too!

turmeric;



We rented this the other night, I haven't watched the entire thing yet, but as my daughter was watching it, I could hear her gagging behind me occassionally , I looked at the TV and all the rats were all over the kitchen floor..

Maybe my husband and I will sit down to watch it this afternoon...

Tame rats I'm okay with. The rats that I helped leave this world were in the chicken house eating chicken feed.

As far as the movie, I'm sure I would enjoy it.

The kids and I watched it this weekend. It was fun, and very well done. Still I struggled with the "ick" factor as well.
